Amphoteric Poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel as a material of artificial muscle

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

To promote the development of artificial muscles, the author investigated amphoteric poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels. The influences of preparation conditions on the mechanical properties including anisotropy and dynamic contraction properties including response time, contraction ratio, generated power density, etc. have been examined. A material with a generated power density about 0.1 W/cm³, close to that of a skeletal muscle, was produced.
